On Friday, August 17th, COD held it’s first ever In-Service Unconference – 21 sessions proposed and convened over the course of just two days!
Knowing that not everyone who wanted to would be able to attend, volunteers from the Faculty Development Advisory sat in on many of the sessions and took notes on the conversations. You’ll find links to these notes as well as any slide presentations and/or handouts generously shared by presenters.
